The Who- Madison Square Garden

Aerosmith- countless times

Styx- countless

Metallica- Black Album Tour 1990

Frampton & J. Geils (same ticket)

Gov't Mule- countless

Springsteen- countless

Van Halen & GnR when they were bar bands in LA.

The wife and I are concert fools. Will travel anywhere anytime to see a show. She has a ticket stub when she saw U2 for $8 in a small bar in NJ back in the day.

Led Zeppelin is probably the only huge band I regret never having seen. I still want to see Dream Theater because Mike Portnoy is the best drummer I've ever heard (yes, better than Pert from Rush).

I'll also say that Blues Traveler put on one hell of a show at Horde Fest in... 1992, I think? Great show, great overall concert

[GritsRgreat]

how long did it take you to get home from that show? we didn't roll in to rock vegas till 8 the next day. some the best seats i have ever had for a show like that.

other great bands i have seen live

the who

van halen 84 tour

rush

guns n roses

and of course, the apex, the most awesomeness of all awesomeness, Steely Dan multiple times.

Yep 1989 great show, i think it was a Tuesday. We have family in Greenville so i stayed the week.

kenny chesney was a good show. wasnt a fan of the music but he was real into it.

2008 at lincoln financial field. i was working at it.

[Zcustom]

Few may know who this "band" is, but I've never seen such rabid fans of a band in my life.

Albannach

If you don't know who they are google them. I played the Loch Norman Highland Games with them last year and these guys are insane! Straight from glasgow and wild as hell, cool guys too.

Not a fan but i did go to one of his shows in Charlotte. Middle of summer, the hot country/cow girls were out in force! Hands down the best concert i've ever attended based on true "talent"

Oyeah! I saw them earlier this year in Charlotte and I thought it was an awesome show! Popper has lost a poo ton of weight, but he was chain smoking and drinkin liquor drinks the entire time.

Krokus

[Hawk]

Elton John and Billy Joel

I had tickets to see them in Seattle last year and it just so happened to be on the same weekend that my wife and I were going to be there for a Hawks game.

Then Elton got sick...so it was postponed to February and we couldn't go.

38 Special....I was living in southern Alberta years and years ago and they were down there shooting a video on a local ranch. that night they played a show for about 50 of us...it was pretty sweet.
